Betta Edu<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) has urged Betta Edu, embattled Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, to tender her resignation for some time so she can submit herself to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) investigations.<\/p>\n

HURIWA made this call following the public fund she deposited in a private individual\u2019s bank account.<\/p>\n

The group emphasized on the potency of the public sector financial regulations of 2009, which prohibits the payment of public funds to the account of a private individual.<\/p>\n

HURIWA especially noted that it would not augur well in the event that the President suspended his representative heading the National Social Investment Programme Agency, for the allegations of paying public funds worth over N34 billion as alleged by EFCC into private accounts, only for Edu to be seeking justification for also directing public fund into a private account .<\/p>\n

It urged the President and the EFCC to use the best global practice in the enforcement of the anti-graft laws since the law shouldn\u2019t be made to favour individuals because they are top officials in the ruling All Progressives Congress.<\/p>\n

HURIWA said: \u201cWe are not Accusing the minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation of committing any infractions, but based on the media statements that her office has issued so far, the attempt to convince Nigerians that it is lawful to keep public fund in private account is just like the polemic promoted by one erstwhile civilian governor of Kano State in the second Republic.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is incongruous and indeed puerile to say that on one hand, the EFCC arrested one official of the same government over allegations of payments of public funds into private accounts but on the same breath, a cabinet level minister is inundating the public space with her submission that keeping public money in private account of someone heading a certain portfolio, is appropriate.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis sounds illogical and fallacious and by the way, if as the Minister argued that under a certain civil service rule, public funds can be kept under private accounts, why then does the financial regulations Act governing public service in Nigeria say the exact opposite?\u201d<\/p>\n
